E. EDefining the printer to the
host: TCP/IP attachment
This appendix contains instructions, prerequisites, and some sample
printer parameters for defining your TCP/IP-attached IPS printer to
your host in each supported PSF environment.
Note: The IPS does not support TCP/IP in the VM environment.
PSF/VSE does not support TCP/IP directly; however, a printing
system with PSF/2 or PSF/6000 can attach to a PSF/VSE system
and the PSF/2 or PSF/6000 can furnish the TCP/IP support for the
IPS printer.
MVS or OS/390 parameters
This section discusses the parameters and procedures required to
define an IPS printer to your host, followed by examples of the
parameters required for a Token Ring connection using TCP/IP in a
MVS environment.
Note: The MVS examples shown are for a Token Ring connection.
However, the same parameters will be required for an Ethernet
connection using TCP/IP.
Software prerequisites – MVS
On an MVS/ESA or OS/390 host system, you must have the
following software to print through PSF on a TCP/IP-attached IPS:
• PSF/MVS Version 2, release 2.0, with APAR OW 15599
• MVS Scheduler APAR OW 12236 to support two new
PRINTDEV keywords: IPADDR and PORTNO
• TCP/IP Version 3, release 1 or higher, installed and configured
on MVS.
You must have these prerequisites installed on your host before you
begin the configuration process described in this chapter. Ensure
that the manuals for the proper software releases are used.
